This arrived minus a wheel but the chaps at QRF sent me a spare plus one within days of my phone call. The open hatch was mis-molded and was more egg shaped than round so I made a quick card cover to hide it...    Jim

I just realised I posted this in the wrong forum!! Anyhow, as requested here are a few shots of the Hummer with a 15mm Peter Pig Marine...    The kit comes as seven metal parts: Upper body Lower chassis 4 wheels .50 cal MG (not used) The quality of the moulding was as you would expect on a metal model, however the one here had a misshapen hatch on top that was more egg shaped than round and my only course of action was to cover it with a scratch built hatch cover, that is not exactly as it should be but does the job. Some flash and mould lines had to be filed away and a bit of re working on the body was required to get it top fit together but I was happy with the end result. Overall I would give this 6/10 Jim

That vehicle just looks VERY small compared to that figure.

Thanks for the comparsion shot.
I too think it looks rather small, but perhaps on the game table it will work just fine?
The quality seems to be a little less than the soldier, the sides of the front windows and the front of the car is not that good, at least they could have put the moldline over or under.
Anyhow, 6/10 is ok for wargaming in my book, do you think it was worth the $?

Oppps, even I'm inflating the price of things now! Sorry, it was the Stryker that was £6 and that is a bit of a big chunk of metal and is worth the money. NOTE: I have edited my post above, again my apologies. Jim
